A couple of weeks back, we went out to Malibu for the afternoon. It’s only about a thirty minute drive from our place, but we hadn’t been in a while and I forgot just how therapeutic it is to hang out by the beach. We went to Café Habana for their grilled corn, tacos, and Pacificos and finished with dessert at Grom, the same gelato spot we visited daily while in Rome for our honeymoon. It wasn’t warm enough to wear bathing suits by the water, but by the time we got home, it felt like we had just returned from vacation.

    Isn’t it funny how you take things/places for granted when they’re so close? From Chicago that seems like a dream vacation at the moment! xx
